Good emo bands?

I was wondering if anyone could recommend some decent Emo bands. I'm looking for bands similar to Cap'n Jazz, Saves the Day, Sunny Day Real Estates, etc. (Thanks in advance)

The thread title is a contradiction in terms.

You might as well ask me for a round triangle.

I would recommend some bands but genres are so intertwined these days they might not even be considered "emo" and be put in another catergory.

Good...emo...bands... jalexbrown

Emo=/=Scene trash.

I'm not all that well versed in emo, but I've heard Fugazi is good? Other then that check out some Swans for Goth/Post-Punk (sort of same genre?)

You kinda listed all the bands I know of from that scene.

^ Yea, a lot of Emo falls under Post-Hadrcore like Thursday, Fugazi, SilverStein,

That's why i can't keep up with the genres lol

I'm not sure, but I think pre-Decemberunderground AFI would fall into the emo cathegory, and they were pretty damn awesome. Just stay far away from Crash Love and Decemberunderground (the newest albums) and you should be fine.

I think Slit my wrist and hope not to die is a pretty good band lol.GrandJury

Lmao, depends on what you mean by "Emo" xD

American Football are pretty awesome, Mike Kinsella from Cap'n Jazz is a member. Also check out Algernon Cadwallader.

Here, I will give you a legit answer. Seeing as I actually enjoy real emo and hardly anyone in this thread knows what that is. Texas Is The Reason are probably my favourite emo band. Rites of Spring, Jawbreaker, Archers of Loaf, Jawbox, On The Might Of Princes for more melodic emo. Bands that I would suggest for more screamo/emo would be Glassjaw, pg. 99, Swing Kids, Orchid, City of Caterpillar. More easily accessible bands would probably be the early stuff from Taking Back Sunday, Brand New and Jimmy Eat World. Hope I helped. EDIT: Forgot to mention Drive Like Jehu, one of my favourite ones.xTheExploited

Cry Myself To Sleep, Ow My Wrists are Bleeding, Nobody Loves Me, I Cried Till' I DiedCHOASXIII

as has been stated american football is also good. fugazi in some respects is considered emo. say hi to you mom. but they are more indie than emo. as cities burns is hella good. underoath if you like the posthardcore. efff it. just listen to what catches your interest. its all good. my genres are ska, emo, indie, and post-hardcore. all grounds covered. music for all situations. just give me a scene where the music is free and the beer is not the life of the party

Can this thread just die, please? rockerbikie

This thread lacks Juggs.

You already got a few there, also chuck in Rites of Spring, Fugazi, Far, New End Original and I guess even Receiving End of Sirens.
